"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Well, fuck.

I did not know this.

Lovely thread

I mean, what is your defence here? You were told literally every building for a mile in every direction was a military facility, and that seemed plausible to you?

If you’re standing in a flattened wasteland where hundreds of thousands of people used to live and the government spokesman showing you around says there was an urgent military necessity to destroy every house to its foundations, you are morally and professionally obliged to stop participating.

You don’t raze entire towns and cities street by street with controlled demolitions and bulldozers for any military objective. You do it because the aim is to wipe those places out of existence forever, and it’s not like they’ve been hiding this.

For those who don’t know, Lina Khan gave tech bros hell AND her ass to kiss when she was FTC chair. She was busting monopolies left and right. Gave Amazon and Meta the finger too. This is an EXCELLENT addition to his team.

And bear in mind this is what the Israelis _want_ the BBC to show:

Hilarious. Bravo.

All racists should only be allowed to drink directly from these farmer’s streams.

me at the end of class: here's a little speculative exercises; imagine you wake up from cryosleep in 2085. what's the kind of tech-society r/ship you'd like to see around you? students: no AI I honestly think students' views are missing from the 'should AI be integrated in classrooms' discussion

I'm sure it's totally coincidental that the AoNZ government's changes to the Marsden Fund have been followed by successful applications led by female investigators dropping from 55% to 33%, and successful applications led by Māori investigators dropping from 13% to 5%. 🫠 🧪

Underage girls cannot consent, @nzherald.bsky.social. And if the sexual service were “commercial”, then not only was she raped by a man, she was trafficked by someone for that purpose.

Well, fuck.

ok this is what a bunch of sesame street characters would look like without their fur

lol lmao I hope rimmer, winnie, and flakes are having that uneasy upset tummy feeling that comes when you know you might be a bit fucked. #nzpol

The billionaires can buy the newspapers and buy social media and buy attack ads, but they can't buy their way out of how much we fucking hate all of them.

Seeing as this has gone a bit viral, I wanna specifically call to all you Pākehā. Tell your kids about Parihaka, whether they ask questions about it, or just NZ history in general. The govt may be pushing back on teaching NZ history, specifically Māori narratives, but this is how we can subvert that

The flip side of this is the male author who was asked about his writing routine, and who talked about how much he loved the feeling that he could close his door and then “the day is completely yours” to focus on writing. He had, at the time, two young children… and, of course, a wife

#nzpol Unemployment reached a 9 year of 5.3%. The labour market took another turn for the worse - unemployment growing, underemployment growing, fewer hours being worked, and wages are not keeping up with inflation. This data is another sign the economy is not working. A thread

A lot of happy NYC dwellers on the tl, lovely to see.

Today, 144 years ago, 1600 Crown troops invaded a pacifist settlement that was the centre of resistance against British colonialism. The leaders were arrested, the settlement sacked, the people violated. For many in Aotearoa, November 5th is Parihaka Day, or Te Rā o te Pāhua: The Day of Plunder.

omg... the juices can't drip out of the chicken so they'd be amazing.

😐

The only surprising thing here is that it was only a third.

Rimmer plays the hat game to avoid admitting that - as always - he has no evidence, and those "phone calls from outraged parents" never happened.

"every time you hear a piece of good news about the explosive growth of clean energy, it’s worth remembering that the benchmark in question likely could have been met in 2005, rather than 2025, if not for Big Oil’s climate deception" @aaronregunberg.bsky.social banger in @newrepublic.com -->>>>>

The first (1955) Danish edition of Ray Bradbury’s FAHRENHEIT 451. Later editions did not convert the title, so this is the only SI-compatible edition! 🎢

5th of November - Parihaka Day.

They fired every Black woman at Teen Vogue and every trans staffer. It is astonishing watching the American media ecosystem just falling like dominoes, bowing its knees to fascism.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Seems bad

Misogynist slurs, dis/misinfo whipping up online harassment, threats of violence, death = online gender-based violence. Note also the appearance-based abuse (women are far more likely to be subject to this). When we will we stop expecting women public figures to protect themselves from this?

Absolutely amazing: they've got so much solar in Australia that they need more people to use more of it, so the gov't has instructed energy retailers to offer *at least three hours of free power* during the middle of the day. Meanwhile fossil-addled US struggles with an energy-price crisis ...

‘louvre’ is French for password.

Elizabeth fucking Rata Contracts only matter when they suit us. Otherwise they’re just make believe. These people have to be removed from power. Arrgh

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

So I just cancelled my event bookings for the rest of the year. I officially have TOO MUCH STUFF to do events, it’s legit ridiculous to shlep tables and tubs and assemble shelving and all of that. Please order online, I’m so very tired 😂

Also worth noting this is being slid in at the last minute to avoid scrutiny through submissions and select committee. A purely anti democratic move.

"If the minister is going to use TALIS data, she should also look at the TALIS data that says the biggest cause of stress for New Zealand teachers is government changes, that only 14 percent of teachers believe the government values them."

Yes! Make the bugs kill each other. Force them into the arena for our entertainment as we chant fight! fight! fight! *mortal kombat voice* finish him

The more I think about public education, climate change, science funding, the more I realize that Republican policy is predicated on the illusion that you can harm others in your environment without harming yourself.

Elizabeth Rata wanted it gone, and so it is done.

I see the coloniser govt is going to remove Te Tiriti from schools now. The pace of their white supremacy is really something. #nzpol

I still have a ton of work to do in the gardens, please consider donating so i can do more (pictures of the community gardens in progress in the posts on my kofi) This community is full of mostly disabled beneficiaries and we're all poor as hell. Trying to grow some food Please share also
